Ironman 2007 this year was a success like most. The mens winner Eneko Llanos Burguera who came in at an impressive time of 8:49:38 was the first ever Spaniard to win the Ironman in Lanzarote.
The first female home was Tiina Boman from Finland who completed the course in 9:58:41
It was also a plesent suprise that everyone who managed to finish this years Ironman finish before the 12 o’clock deadline.
The day in Puerto del Carmen was not without some accidents however. Each year as the Ironman becomes more popular bring new danger. The roads in Puerto del Carmen are closed off to car and busses, however they are not closed off to the public who seem to wonder accross the road without a care in the world.
Coming to the closing stage of his bike ride, one competitor who was riding towards the end of stage 2 ended up hitting a person crossing the road. Naturally the competitor was not happy and this is understandable. Hopefully next year may bring in some tighter control of people crossing the road.
For a long time now Lanzarote (Puerto Calero) has been home to Catlanza which has been offering catamaran trips on a daily basis with just about no competition, until now.
Papagayo Adventure is a new company which is now offering catamaran trips that will leave from the harbour in Puerto del Carmen. The trip which began this week is now up and running and already taking customers out on the open sea.
So whats the advantage of this trip?
Papagayo Adventure:
Comparing what this new excursions offers to the catlanza excursions, not only is it cheap but it also offers a lot more.
We shall be updating our excursions in lanzarote page with all this information (when we can get some nice pictures) so be sure to keep an eye out.
